    This place is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Most people try to compare it to Applebee's, but there's a reason they have half price appetizers and dollar drinks. Every single time I come to chili's the service is down to earth and my food is hot and looks just like the picture on the menu. I always start with a triple dipper featuring the southwest egg rolls, big mouth bites and the honey chipotle chicken crispers. A great appetizer that never lets me down and when I come by myself it's my entree(: The Blue Goose coconut limeade is my favorite drink to order. This limeade is a little dangerous because it doesn't taste like any alcohol is in it. Since I had to share the appetizer this time I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta to share as well. It was great as usual, I just wish I had enough for dessert. If I did I would've ordered the molten chocolate cake. It's soooo good and very satisfying....maybe next time.

    Lots of chips!

    Chain restaurants aren't my thing. I love the small local dives that have a unique eclectic feel. Some work pals suggested an impromptu lunch at Chili's so off we went on a slow weekday. We signed up for some club deal and got free chips. We also were in time for the lunch menu and there were some good deals still available. Because of miscommunication on our end, we stayed longer than we intended but the server did not mind that we were taking up a table. She was very nice and helpful. I appreciated her patience with us. I was surprised by the options available for lunch. There were many items offered and Chili's even had a combo meal deal for lunch. It was difficult to pick a selection. We did not have to wait long for our food, either. The food was good and fresh. I had no problem with quality or tastefulness. There was also plenty of food, too. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal and commented on the quality. The atmosphere was nice and inviting. The restaurant was not very crowded when we were there. We had no trouble getting promptly seated. The booths were spacious and you did not feel crammed into a small table space. Parking was easy since you park in a private lot in front of the restaurant. Easy access which is something I always look for in an establishment. This was a positive dining experience. It was delicious and comfortable. Great way to pass the time with good friends.

    Caribbean shrimp salad

    OK, up until the unfortunate things that happen with Roseanne Barr I was a true fan of the Roseanne show and one of the statements that I heard her sister Jackie say in an episode was called "hoodoggie" and every since that has been a word that I have used to describe when somethings surpasses my expectations and gives me a wow factor that I haven't had in a while. First of all let me say Chili's is not the place that I would originally go to technically it's not my kind of place but I get these moments where I want to have a different type of Tastebud sparked and so on this particular day I decided to order their Caribbean shrimp salad and their molten lava cake with ice cream. And I have to say they get a straight up Hoodoggie from me!!!! My Caribbean shrimp salad was so flavorful they didn't skip on the shrimp either it has plenty of shrimp vegetables fresh pineapple it was absolutely delicious and to top it off with a beautifully moist chocolatey molten lava cake what a nice amount of vanilla ice cream just tipped the scale into hoodoggie land. I will definitely come back to Chili's to try some more of their wonderful food. Not too many places have gotten The Hoodoggie stamp of approval, I just hope that chili's can live up to holding onto that title, because just as easily as I can give it, I can easily take it away, so Chili's don't let me down.

    I love the black bean burger and Chili's and the Long Island is fantastic. My only complaint is that the menu is so stressful to look at. The font is so small, I would've brought my glasses and taken an extra adderall if I had known this.

This includes of course the history of Lawrence and how influential this building has been over time. Since I've been in Lawrence (which is about 10 years now which is so nuts) this has been Merchants. I love Merchants. It's consistently (to me) a top 3 restaurant on Mass St. The food is high quality. The service is high quality. The chefs table is a vibe (idk if they still have it but they did a few years ago). Anyway, the duck and dumplings was so comforting. It was the perfect ratio of duck to dumpling to vegetable to broth. The bison burger always slaps and the fries are so yummy. Dare I say they have the best burger in town? Also you guys have the BEST Diet Coke. So good and crispy. I love you Merchants! Also sitting next to the window and looking out to the twinkle lights on mass was so dreamy.

The restaurant itself is beautiful inside -- a cozy mix of rustic and modern that creates a really inviting atmosphere. Service started a little slow, though our waitress became more attentive once she came by. We mentioned it was our first visit, so I was a bit surprised there wasn't much guidance on the menu or any recommendations. At one point I asked about the two kinds of fries (I love fries!), and the explanation was simply that they were "fancy fries," without much detail on flavors or differences. We started with drinks and the Brussels sprouts appetizer. The sprouts were actually very good, with a nice balance in the sauce, and both the wine and sangria were refreshing. Unfortunately, dinner is where things went downhill. Our meals -- a steak and a gluten-free chicken sandwich -- took about 45 minutes to arrive, which felt long for relatively simple dishes. I had asked about the gluten-free bun since they can sometimes be dry, but didn't receive much insight beyond "it's gluten free," and sadly it was indeed very dry. The chicken itself lacked flavor, though the goat cheese cilantro sauce helped make it somewhat enjoyable. The fries looked homemade and delicious but arrived cold. The steak was cooked as requested, but it didn't have much flavor beyond the mushrooms on top. The broccoli side was tasty, and the potatoes were good, though it on a bed of Some kind of cheese sauce that wasn't quite to our liking. Overall, the space and gluten-free availability were promising, and the appetizers and drinks were enjoyable, but the food execution and service details didn't quite meet expectations for us this visit.

The vibe was fun and inviting, and it looks like they've carried over the magic from their super popular Christmas pop-up into a fresh, spring-inspired theme. It adds a really playful, seasonal touch without feeling overdone. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the service. Our waitress was fantastic--super friendly, attentive without hovering, and offered great suggestions that we actually ended up loving. Tip: Get a basket of French fries for the table! Overall, it's one of those spots that works for just about anything--family outings, catching a game, bigger group gatherings, or even a more low-key, intimate meal. Great atmosphere, great service, and a place we'll definitely be back to.

Some of my favorite food items include: the Bill Self Mac, ANY of the pizzas, Cobb Salad, Meatball Grinder, and Patty Melt.

My fiance and I went there for a family celebration after our engagement and they treated us with a delicious chocolate cake!
